RCM Technologies Adopts Stockholder Rights Plan

PENNSAUKEN, N.J., Jan. 31, 2013 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- RCM Technologies, Inc. (Nasdaq:RCMT) today announced that its Board of Directors has approved the adoption of a stockholder rights plan (the "Rights Plan") and declared a dividend distribution of one right ("Right") for each outstanding share of common stock.

The Rights Plan is intended to protect RCM and its stockholders from efforts to obtain control of RCM that the Board of Directors determines are not in the best interests of RCM and its stockholders, and to enable all stockholders to realize the long-term value of their investment in RCM. The Rights Plan is not intended to interfere with any merger, tender or exchange offer or other business combination approved by the Board of Directors. Nor does the Rights Plan prevent the RCM Board from considering any offer that it considers to be in the best interest of its stockholders. The Rights Plan adopted by RCM is similar to rights plans adopted by many other publicly-traded companies.

Pursuant to the Rights Plan, RCM is issuing one Right for each current share of common stock outstanding at the close of business on February 10, 2013. Initially, the Rights will not be exercisable, will be represented by RCM common stock certificates or book entry notations, and will trade with the shares of RCM's common stock. If the Rights become exercisable, each Right will entitle stockholders to buy one one-hundredth of a share of a new series of participating preferred stock at an exercise price of $15.00 per Right. The distribution of the Rights will not be taxable to shareholders.

The Rights will be exercisable if a person or group acquires 15% or more of RCM's common stock in a transaction, including the open market purchase of shares, not approved by RCM's Board of Directors. If a person or group acquires 15%, each Right will entitle its holder (other than such person or members of such group) to purchase, at the Right's exercise price (subject to adjustment as provided in the Rights Plan), a number of shares of RCM's common stock having a then-current market value of twice the exercise price.
